      We are all our own prisoners



      In "A Dream of Red Mansions", there is an unreal world. People can never know for sure whether their existence is real or illusory, so Jia Baoyu listened to so many judgments and tunes, but still "the idiot has not yet realized", which is of no use at all, so that he is trapped in a "maze", and in the end it is just "a quiet scene." To whom does the dream sue".

      But in Truman's world, even such kindly hints are not available. He lives completely in a world of lies, and even...

      I'm going my way so bring it on

      Truman. This movie was deleted, deleted and downloaded on my computer, of course, for the fame of the classics. After reading the beginning, it is a simple life over and over again, and I doubt where the classics are, so I have been impatient to continue. This time, I borrowed the light of CCTV-6 and finally watched it with peace of mind, only to find that many good things are worth tasting patiently.

      The first feeling is horror - GOD, how can someone violate the rights of others like...

      The door is in front of you, you can choose to stay in the ignorant life, relying on so-called new things to pass the day or take a step to see the reality of this life

      "The Truman World"
       was written in a very messy way, and I didn't bother to sort it out . It's a movie review. It was


      messy after watching the movie. It was actually quite messy. One of the main ones was someone asked me to chat. .
      But I still see a reason, let’s first explain the plot of Taoyuan Island~ The protagonist is an ordinary person living in Taoyuan Island. He has dreamed of exploring since he was a child,

      and Finally, one day he wanted to go out and...

      It sucks, but you gonna love it.

      After reading a cartoon, we are all the scenery of star films in the hands of others,

      others the scenery of postcards in the hands of others, and so on. The ultimate big boss dare not

      look up , maybe the edge of the vast galaxy is a huge plastic photo frame.
         
         Ever thought you would be the center of the universe? The sun in the sky is made of moon cakes, the camera is buried in the

      wall, Eason Chan's concert is held for you, and passers-by look at you...

      Have you noticed the ending of some thoughts on "The Truman World"?

      This is a wonderful and thought-provoking film.

        Truman has lived in a virtual world since he was a child. In this world that is being watched by people all over the world, only Truman is a real person. The people around him and what happens are all carefully arranged by the director. I have to say that Truman is sad, there is no privacy and no freedom, but thinking at a deeper level, not only Truman's misfortune, but also the misfortune of everyone in modern society is reflected...

      Tears filled my eyes when watching such a film, from the humorous beginning to the bone-chilling cold afterwards, and the last struggling part was too shocking. It turns out that we all imagined that our lives were a protracted reality show, and we were all just actors in the focus of the...

    Movie plot

    The Omnicom Television Production Company adopted a baby 30 years ago. They deliberately cultivated him to become the protagonist of the world's most popular documentary soap opera "Trumen's World." The company has achieved great success for this. However, only one person is totally unaware of all this. He is the only protagonist of the play-Truman.
    Since childhood, Truman has lived in a small city called Taoyuan Island (actually a huge...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Truman’s sailing vessel was named "Santa Maria", which had the same name as a ship in the Columbus fleet.
    Director Peter Weir shot this movie in the 1.66:1 format, doing this to make the movie look more like a TV show.
    The TV show music producer next to the synthesizer in the film is the composer Philip Glass. The reality show soundtrack in the film uses some of his past....

    Creative background

    In May 1991, screenwriter Andrew Nicole completed a page of outline of the story titled "The Malcolm Show".

In the fall of 1993, producer Scott Rudin bought Nicole’s script for $1 million, and Paramount Pictures also agreed to release the film.
    Producer Rudin originally wanted Nicole to be the director of the film, but Paramount thought that the...

    "The World of Truman" because of its bizarre design plot fascinated many audiences. With the passage of time, this movie that passed by Oscar has been talked about by more and more fans. In addition to the successful commercialization of the film’s storyline, the reason for this situation is also related to the strong symbolism that director Peter Weir injected into the film. The director compared Taoyuan Town to the Garden of Eden, or...

      Meryl: You're blaming me for the traffic?

      Truman Burbank: Should I?

      Meryl: Truman, let's go home.

      Truman Burbank: You're right. We could be stuck here for hours. It could be like this all the way to Atlantic City. Let's go back. I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me.
